selftests: add a sanity check for zswap
We recently encountered a bug that makes all zswap store attempt fail. Specifically, after: "141fdeec mm/zswap: delay the initialization of zswap" if we build a kernel with zswap disabled by default, then enabled after the swapfile is set up, the zswap tree will not be initialized. As a result, all zswap store calls will be short-circuited. We have to perform another swapon to get zswap working properly again. Fortunately, this issue has since been fixed by the patch that kills frontswap: "42c06a0e mm: kill frontswap" which performs zswap_swapon() unconditionally, i.e always initializing the zswap tree. This test add a sanity check that ensure zswap storing works as intended.
